We have PhD and Postdoc positions open:
- We are looking for a PhD student or postdoctoral fellow to investigate the link between metabolism and brain function at the cellular and molecular level. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of glia-neuron metabolic interactions. Methods will include imaging of neurotransmitter release in cultured neurons, mouse genetics, electrophysiology and biochemical techniques.
- The second project will investigate the link between nutrition and muscle cell development and survival.
We are always open to supervising MD, Master’s and Bachelor’s theses in molecular and cellular neuroscience. The laboratory is interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control the plasticity of neurotransmitter release and presynaptic-nuclear signalling, and their role in normal brain function and disease. We use a wide range of methods in our research, from biochemical and molecular techniques, mouse genetics, behavioural analysis, -omics approaches, neurophysiology, to super-resolution and live imaging in neurons.
